The "Complex Well Team" is located in Houston and contains the best of the best drilling engineers, pore pressure prediction specialists, logging and sampling experts, etc . Many deep water wells are in this category (also shallow-water and onshore very deep TD wells; ultra-long throw horizontals, etc).

Would make sense that these resources, experience from doing many complex wells yearly (not just once every few years in a remote business unit) and the subject-matter expert synergies in the Hou-based group should be applied to Perm, Brazil, PZ (if it ever restarts), etc.

Tell that to the big staff of D&C department in the Brazil and Argentina Chevron. I heard that Brazil Chevron did not drill or complete a single well in the last 7 years or will do so in the next 3 years.

Sounds reasonable. What do we know about it?

Drilling and Completion (D&C) of multi-million Dollar deep water wells would likely benefit from have D&C main office closest to the Gulf and other high tech resources, which is the Houston Office. That's my reasonable opinion.
